Review of Hit Lady

Hit Lady (1974 TV Movie)
8/10
Cool 70's TV movie
6 March 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Artist Angela de Vries (well played by the stunning Yvette Mimieux, who also wrote the succinct script) works as a mob assassin on the side. Complications ensure when Angela starts having second thoughts about what she does for a living.

Capably directed by Tracy Keenan Wynn, with an absorbing story that unfolds at a steady pace, a somber tone, an exciting car chase that's staged with skill and flair, and a real zinger of a surprise downbeat ending, this vintage 70's Aaron Spelling TV production makes for an enjoyable watch. The sound acting by the sturdy cast helps a lot: Joseph Campanella as amiable tycoon Jeffrey Baine, Clu Gulager as pushy and smarmy jerk contractor Roarke, Dack Rambo as dashing hunk boyfriend Doug Reynolds, Keenan Wynn as hearty rancher Buddy McCormack, Roy Jenson as tough bodyguard Eddie, and Paul Genge as the hard-nosed Webb. Better still, the lovely Mrs. Mimieux looks like a million bucks in fancy designer threads and even shows off a very impressive right'n'tight slender figure while parading about in a bikini. An entertaining teleflick.
